an obama one? >> i think we're going to see a difference and there's a real important national debate to have because you have an obama administration record to have. it's one that shows progress and recovery of the economy and then mitt romney is going to put his agenda on the table which is endorsing the ryan economic budget plan which the republican party has almost unanimously adopted in the house and senate and the ryan strategy is to focus on tax cuts, increased tax cuts for the top 1% earnings and impose cutbacks for middle-income families. we're talking student loans, privatizing medicare which essentially ended for retires, rolling back environmental oversight to help business. so there's going to be an important debate to be had about that, and think when all is said and done, i think what we're seeing now is a recovery -- i don't think the country wants to go back to what the romney agenda represents. >> all right. robert zimmerman, nice to have you on this morning. thank you. >> okay. t
